' No. 22 Telephone Monopoly How It Browbeats Its Subscribers���������A Veritable Blackmail. The following letter, from a correspondent of this journal and a subscriber of the B. C. Telephone Company, and one of the best known business men of the eity, is a most -convincing illustration of the odious methods in vogue with the company in its dealings with the public. It is clear that the company will, when possible, impose most absurd conditions upon such subscribers as may be easily hoaxed, but they invariably "crawl down"'.-when an independent and aggressive business man "'calls their bluff." The following letter speaks for itself and is worthy of consideration: ,,, . .-.... . n . ' September 28; 1910. Editor Western Call, Vancouver, B.

Some two yearB ago, thti writer and a neighbor applied to the Company toi- hoiwe telephones on twelfth avenue east (on the Marine Driveway) and deposited with the Company the usual $10 exacted by them. In a few days we received notice that the services could not be installed unless we paid them one year's rentals In advance and also construction fees of $35 each. We offered to pay the year's rentals in advance, but could not see why a subscriber should be called on to pay construction fees inside the city of Vancouver and more especially on such a thoroughfare as Twelfth avenue. Needless to my, we refused and requested that our applications be cancelled and the deposit returned. 8hortly after, the Company offered to give the service on the usual basis, but not until they found their bluff would not work. Then again in February, 1910, my office telephone was out of order and was reported to the Trouble Department repeatedly and no satisfaction could be obtained, and an appeal was then made to th,e manager, who informed me that the cable in the lane was burned out and the service could not be continued until this cable was repaired. The telephone was out of commission about three weeks, for which I put ln a written claim tor $2.00, Twit with assurance from the manager that "he would hold out no hope or the claim being allowed," and he stated further that "if the Company paid all such claims, how would they pay DIVIDEND8!" ' The Company have since placed the account ($2.00) with a collecting agency to force payment, as I-had' deducted the claim from the following months' tolls. I am very much pleased to see'that one paper in Vancouver Imb the courage to fearlessly oppose such a company of Extortionists.. Thanking you for the space, I anv " .. * Tours faithfully, .... F. M. BRITTON. WL Wmt wmJUAwnsAowm- It is decidedly refreshing to note how utterly unselfish is Mr. Con Jones, the financial manager of the Vancouver lacrosse team, and the erstwhile Australian sport promoter. We are told, in a two-column free advertising news item report of a dinner at the Hotel Vancouver, as given in the local press, that "Mr. Jones raised a hearty and encouraging cheer when he stated that it was his intention to use every means in his power to give Vancouver a cup-winning team next season"; also "Manager Jones, who financed the club, is shy just $764.43 on the season's operations." What magnanimity! What a superlative example of genuine selff sacrifice this is! But that is not all. We must add to this loss the fact "that Mr. Jones dropped a couple of thousand dollars on the previous saeson." The enthusiastic sporting editor then continues: ''It is a sterling tribute to his sportsmanship that he is still deter- "tnined to try for the cup." Let these great and potent facts sink deep into the memory of an ungrateful public, that in spite of a toss of about $3,000, this patriotic soul is determined to land that cup for Vancouver. How his old Australian friends will swell with pride when they hear of the noble self-sacrifice of their acquaintance of former years. We would heartily recommend that if Mr. Con Jones is able to land that cup next year that hejake his team and tour Australia, landing firsts national game is like when handled by such an adroit expert as Mr. Jones. We are sure that his reception would be a warm one, and the7 success of the venture assured because of Mr. Jones' intimate acquaintance with sport promotion in Australia. Financially it would undoubtedly be a success, at least for some. The sporting editor of the World continues: "Mr. Jones received criticism from some quarters aud from some men who were too narrow-minded to understand the situation in its true light." Let these "narrow-minded critics" cease their Useless and unkind \ reflections and be satisfied with the knowledge that Mr. Jones has lost money on lacrosse, that he has succeeded only in getting in return more free advertising than any other person, always excepting John Arthur Johnson, Jim Jeffries and Teddy Roosevelt, and that the National Sports Club, of which he is the proud proprietor, receives its patronage from the young men of the community, and that Mr. Jones is the respected adviser of all local hospital and philanthropic boards, the W. C. T. U., the Provincial Government and the ['Children's Aid Society, etc. And,further, in order to utterly silence any remaining obstreperous critic, permit us to say that Mr. Jones came here from Australia fa few years ago with only moderate means, he now ranks amongst the elite of the city, and is credited with considerable wealth (as is [evidenced by his generous donations to various public charities, including his favorite political party); and this splendid social and financial success has been achieved in spite of the fact that he has been engaged in the great benevolent avocation of "professional isport promoter." A GOOD FLAG TO KEEP. (Collier's Weekly.)' A popular motto nowadays for set pieces and electric signs is One Flag, One Empire, One King. This does not quite suit Henri Bourassa, who would like a larger choice in flags. He is not satisfied with the Union Jack, under which he enjoys his liberties aud 'privileges. Some confusion exists as to what he really prefers���������the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbons, the tricolor of the republicans, the eagles and bees pf Napoleon or the drapeau de Carillon. It may be that none of these is up to his mark, and that a special flag will have to be designed for him by the Heralds' College, with a Bourassa rampant in the upper canton and an Armed Lavergne on the flap to swing which way he pleases. Of course, Bourassa is not the only 'one who talks flags. There are people who object to the "Red LDuster," the flag which has braved the battle and the Canadian roreeze for forty-three years, ever since Confederation. They say it ���������is a commercial'flag, and beneath the dignity of the new Canadian navy. Well, perhaps. But in all these flag discussions do not let us get far away from the flag that is the pride of the ocean and an object of respect and affection to four hundred million people of all colors and creeds. Keep both hands on the Union Jack. Coquitlam Hotel Condkfctetf by W. Routity. ; Among tbe varioas towns along J Coquitlam Hardware Co. is a flour- the line of the C. P.

(Continued on page 2) False Creek _ v Now that the problem of the disposition of the bed of False Creek is again before ns for consideration.it might be well to enquire into the relative position of the city and the G. N. railway. There are varied aud copious opinions being gratuitously offered regarding the action of the Provincial Government in refusing its approval of the city's plans (which, by the way, were really the G. N. railway's plans,-not the city's)( but-a-criticaLanalysis.-.oilthe_ whole situation will convince any impartial person that the root cause of this wave of indignation, as expressed by many worthy citizens, is not that they are convinced of any injustice on the part of the government, but that a pet scheme had been thwarted, which, with child-like impetuosity, they had insisted upon carrying' out, irrespective of its future effect or immediate legality. Now it-is only reasonable to concede that-this strong desire to carry but the scheme of development, as outlined by the Great Northern, was really caused by a conviction that unless this particular scheme was adopted that the creek would remain an unsightly mud- hole for an indefinite time; . There is, however, one point which has-been generally overlooked by trie public, viz.,, that no sincere attempthas ever been made to utilize False Creek as a publicly owned enterprise. ,It is true that a resolution was introduced; to* council early-.this year to the effect that the city develop the scheme in the public interest and that not one *oot be alienated, but the mover had>the exquisite pleasure o.' being the only one to vote for the resolution. The rest of the council octermiued. in their wisdom that it was more in the interests of the public to give to the Great Northern.130 acres than to burden the administration with an undertaking which would require the ex- pendture of a great sum of money and of "aldermanie grey matter," deeming the effort too great for the meagre gratitude of a fickle public. This does not, however, do away with the significance of the suggestion. When the property was granted to the city it was especially stipulated that it should not be alienated, but used for the public good, and it is no compliment to Vancouver that no scheme of publie development has ever been attempted. We are now all thoroughly convinced of the almost incalculable, value of this property, yet, strange to say, in the minds of members of our council it was not thought to be of sufficient value to be security for the cost of development. ' , The present stay in proceedings might almost be viewed' as a "providential opportunity" given us in which to carefully scrutinize the situation and ask ourselves if we are really justified in. giving away 130 acres in the very heart of our city to a railway company. For what? For nothing. Again, we might ask: Is it too late to retrace our steps? And, What is the position of the G. N. railway? In consideration of the first question it is well to remember that when False Creek was granted to the city it was considered to be of very little value, and the land surrounding it was also looked upon as less valuable because of its proximity to the creek. During the interim, however, its value has been partially appreciated, but not to such au extent that an immediate advantage was not able to overshadow its possible future value, both in the eyes of the electorate and of the majority of the council; in fact, so strong was this desire for some simple immediate development, at whatever cost to future generations, that the council never seemed to consider the (Continued cm page 4) Misleading Statement This journal is willing to publish the statements of any responsible organization, providing they are within reason and authenticated with the signature of a responsible person, but we will not lend our column for the publication of subtle, misleading information, although it may be clothed in language which, at first glance, would appear to the uninitiated as in perfect accord with the best interest of the public. '���������/...'. We are continually receiving from a certain source unsigned,- typewritten articles, which purport to be in the interests of temperance. The last epistle from this anonymous correspondent expresses great alarm at the increase in the consumption of liquor in the United States; quoting statistical returns from the Inland Revenue Department in support of the statement, then proceeds to point out that this is in spite of the fact that many states are going "dry," and closes with a plaintive interrpgaiou, "Does prohibiion prohibit, or are we on the wrong; track?" We answer our mysterious friend: Yes, you certainly are on the wrong track In the first place you are a hypocrite. You are not the friend of temperance, you are simply the paid tool of the License Victuaiers Association. In the second place your statements are false and misleading. The figures which are quoted regarding counmption are really ^ the total withdrawals from bond of spirits and of beer upon which the revenue tax has been paid. There is a vast difference in the two and the License Victuallers know this perfectly well. The fact is that in these figures, which are so assiduously circulated, are included the amounts which are being exported and if we are to bilievft tbe advertisements of Sehlitz's beer, this firm alone ia exporting many trainloads each week, in fact, whole ships cargoes are made up of the products of this one firm and is carried to all parts of the. world. There.,are hundredsof firms hi America which manufacture and export vast quantities of beer, wines and liquors. This all comes under the figures of the Revenue Department. Ihe following is a very interesting comparison wb;ch we recommend to our License Victualer friend and suggest that they might i be included in lys next epistle: Here are the figures for the years 1967. 1908, 1909 and 1910, , these figures covering Withdrawals of distilled spirits from bond ' - and beer on which revenue tax was paid: ; V Gallons. ��������� _,��������� K t^ * ' ; 19wi .^ A,Ul.f,b9x,Hx 1908 2,006,233,408 1909 \ 1,935,544,113 1910..... :. 2,046,181,943 AccordingHo the circular of. the,Ucense.VictuaUrsy these ftfurea show eonelUshrely that :Loe*l Optiou7 fx*rhltroa a^ Tempataoee Agitation only increase drinking* 'The fact is that dealer* every- " where have been by mutual arrangement making heavy withdrawals) from bond of spirits, and these dealers are carrying heavy stocks of liquors and beer which has hot been consumed, so as to purposely inflate the figures of the Inland Revenue Department, and in addition to this is the increasing export trade. But here are some more figures which show, that even taking the statements of the Victuaiers as true (which they are not), a decided decrease: Per capita. jyo" ������������������������������ .-������������������'������������������������������������������������������** ��������� au.uIs .f *J\J*J . . . m ��������������������������� ��������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������*��������� ������������������������������������ fl+������ww ^4-tTj.vJ ��������� '"���������,���������'��������� ��������� ���������.��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ���������-.��������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������������� ��������� -��������� mm4-M~.\������r^ Thus it will be observed that, according to these returns, there has been a very decided reduction in consumption without making any additional'.allowance, for. increased exports or withdrawals. To bring the per capita of 1910 up to 1907 it would require a total of 180,000,000 gallons, which is a very considerable amount. Then again, previous to 1907, there was an annual increase of 96.000,000 gallons. This has been stopped entirely, thus making a total loss or reduction in the last three years of 375,000,000 gallons. No wonder the License Victuaiers are using every known device to stop the" leakage. ~ " :������������������- - - - Another favorite strajfcagem of the trade is to insert in the press of the country little stories, in the form of news items, whereby prominent men are alleged to have supported the establishment of saloons, etc., under certain picturesque conditions. Not long since there appeared in the local press a story that the Bishop of Manchester. England, had publicly expressed his approval of a certain saloon in his district and quoted him as saying if more such were inaugurated it would lessen drunkenness, and then followed an attractive description of the place. We cut the article out and forwarded it to the Bishop for his confirmation, aud iu reply received his absoluted repudiation of the whole article. ' We are not crauks. but we do utterly despise those'who seek, to gain a purely monetary advantage by the circulation-of false and misleading statements. BRITISH PREFERENCE. (Standard of Empire.) Elsewhere we print an account of an experiment which proves beyond* doubt the Standard of Empire's contention that there exists in plenty in the towns of.Great Britain excellent emigration material. Two unemployed men were chosen at random from among the homeless unfortunates on the Thames Embankment, and given work on a farm. It took them some little time to shake off the evil effects of semi-starvation, exposure, and the heart-breaking search for work, but today, after six months' hard work on the farm, they are thoroughly competent farm hands. They have regained their self-respect and interests in life, and have been chosen by Sir Thomas Robinson, the Agent-General for Queensland, to go out to.that State as assisted emigrants. With/reasonable good fortune, backed by stern application to work, then* is not the slightest reason why these men should * not be comfortably placed freehold farmers within five years, and possibly rich men before they reach middle age. Yet neither of them had any experience of farm work before they were rescued from the terrors of unemployment six months ago. Nothing more is needed' to dispel the tradition that only those who have been reared on the land can become successful farmers. What has been done for these two men in question could assuredly be done in the case of thousands of'others���������men who. for some reason or other, have failed to make good in this the land of their birth, but for whom there are chances in plenty in the Oversea States. It was an important feature of tliis ease that the element of charity was not allowed to enter. The men were put.to work on an ordinary farm and paid a wage���������a very small one, it is true-^-for their services. There" was no official atmosphere about them, and those with whom they associated were ordinary agricultural laborers, not beginners like themselves, trying to retrieve lost fortunes. At practically no cost whatever two wrecks have been prevented and two citizens given to a young and prosperous State. Why should not the two be two thousand or twenty thousand? ���������* 'Hi > >'*������l ' -*$| ' ������P������I .ruffl wl -^1 THE WESTERN CALL. VANCOUVER. BRITI8H COLUMBIA.

(From Literary Digest.) ; If the power of the commander of a transatlantic greyhound is great his i responsibilities to his owners-and to l humanity are nd less so. * If he loses his ship through.the slightest fault of hisown he loses his career if, haply, he survives the disaster. -Not. many do. Captains subscribe to a code unwritten, but not less inexorable, that theyshall die with their ships, if passengers are aboard when it goes down. The commander of La Bourgoghe was 1 last seen on the bridge, his hand or the whistlecord, as the great liner took i the long dive. Captain Von Goessel ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������<���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������<���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������<���������������������������>���������>��������������������������� !������*'*?*.Elbe' ���������������t genial and skUful of ��������� (captains, stood on the bridge with ' arms folded calmly waiting for the waters to engulf bim. Captain Griffith of the Mohegan waited on the bridge, while his vessel sank beneath his feet. Captain Luce of the Arctic died at his post. There have been recent instances of captains, having piled their ships up on rocks or shoals, going to their cabins and ending their lives. They knew it was either that or a_ life of retirement on shore. Not all have chosen to accept that alternative which lay within their own hands." !Tou may find them brooding the. years away In little rose-covered cottages in Hamburg, Bremen, Liverpool,, Glasgow, or. some Long.Island village��������� each a victim of one overshadowing mistake which set the "record of yeara at naught, and offset all the bravery and.skill and devotion to duty that in them lay. In fact, when one considers the rigid responsibilities of a captain there'can be but wonder that he is such a wholesome and pleasant person, and .such good company at all times when the: .navigation of the ship does not demand his close attention. One foggy morning in the spring of 1908 the Kronprinz Wilhelm was lying off Robin's Reef, waiting for the, mist banks to rise before proceeding to her pier. Many of the passengers who had succumbed to Captain Nierich's genial and magnetic personality had gone forward under the bridge for a last word with their commander. The Captain could not but see them, but there was nothing to indicate that he did.' .They knew better than to obtrude them, selves upon the bluff skipper's attention. Evidently he had other things to think of. The passengers did not quite understand., It was true there Was fog, but the liner was in the bay; what possible , harm could 7 come? While they would hate to think.it of the Captain, vthere was little doubt that this was a pose. . Suddenly, as they stood there, the telephone on the bridge: rang. Cap; tain Nierich answered, and then in an instant dropped the receiver and sprung to the* afteraction of the bridge. There came a crash astern, and the sharp cutwater of the Crown of Castile, blundering through the fog, bit into the German liner's stern. By this time the captain had pulled up a long brass rod. This rod, when pulled as high as it would go, began to descend, while great gongs rang throughout^ the immense. .hu.lL.__ In^swenjsec-, onds the rod had sunk into its original position, and the gongs���������warning every one out of the way of the bulkhead doors���������had ceased. .Captain Nierich turned to a lever, and gave it a mighty pull. Instantly the ship reverberated with the noise of twenty steel doors flying shut, with a force that would have cut logs in two. The hull prcatically was hermeticallly sealed. Even had the bow of the wandering tramp penetrated below the water-line, the Kronprinz would have remained afloat. As it was the hole was punched above ihe water, and no compartment filled. Proximity tp port had not found Captain Nierich napping. He maintained as rigid attention to all details looking toward the safety of the ship.In New York bay as he would have in tnid-sea. And when the test came���������the first real test, by the way, of the automatic bulkhead-closing system���������he was ready for It. By actual time, the Kronprinz was. watertight within twenty seconds after the collission. Some captains are frequently called upon to show gallantry or resourcefulness in situations bordering upon the hazardous; others pursue a peaceful and uneventful course over smiling seas, so to speak, year in and year out. Capt. Charles Polack of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, for example, could wear a double row of medals for bravery across his ample chest Once, in the fall of 1907, when his vessel was speeding for Bremen, with cabins well filled, the steamship was shaken by some shock, and then slewed off at a tangent. A derelict had carried away the rudder. The steamship was then 400 miles from Halifax. Some of the passengers, whose nerves had not withstood the accident, wanted the Captain to make for that port. But there were mails aboard, and several hundred passengers were on this vessel, because she was swift; they had taken passage "tin her because they wanted to reach Europe in the shortest possible time. So Polack decided to finish the trip, rudder or no rudder, by. steering with his propellers. He did this in four and" a half days, bringing the vessel in port only a few hours late; In all this time Captain Polack never left the bridge, rlbur after hour! hei was at the signal telegraph, calling for a little extra pow������r on-' the starboard propeller, or bn7the port screw, as the case might be; backing with one, going astern with the other. Thus the course -was maintained and the journey completed without accident. When the Captain finally went from the bridge to his cabin, his feet jvere so swol'en that they were obliged tdKcut his shoes off." 7 ; .The majority of the achievements of captains are not likely to become known, to the public, both because of the Captain's modesty and a policy of silence. The passengers are usually quite unaware of, the events of the night as they see the skipper smiling ind urbane, as he passes along Ihe deck. 7. , 77 .".7 Two or three years ago the Kaiser Wilhelm II. ran into a heavy, fog on approaching the English Channel. The dreaded Scillys were somewhere at hand, but they were not to-be-seen. But they were passed and Captain Cueppers strained his ear for the Lizard fog-signal. Finally Cueppers sent out a wireless inquiry to the Lizard, asking the operator if he had heard the Kaiser's fog whistle. Answer came back that it had been heard about three miles to the southward. The captain signaled back that in order to be certain he would blow his fog- whistle three times. He waited one minute and then the whistle-blasts were sounded. ��������� "The sounds come directly abeam of this station," answered the operator. Captain Cueppers felt that he knew his position now to a certainty, and groped his way toward the Eddystone. Eventually the vessel, which had passengers to land at Plymouth, was anchored off that port. The passengers boarded the tender, and the Kaiser proceeded to Bremen. The commander; never got the faintest glimpse of piymouth. There is nothing heroic in this, but eminent skill as a navigator is: plainly read in this incident. - TBESON00F %M?Mititts There' is.a line stirring .poem by Will Ogilviehn the current number of the Spectator.- It is 7 called - 'The Plough/^and tells of the part plar-ed in the settlement and civilization of the world .'*-r the implement which, from time immorial, has played its leading part at the base of all productive industry.

An audience of thoughtful, Intelligent women listened with deep attention, and in fact awe. to his weighty utterances upon these vital economic and sociological problems of the day. The terrible statistics, gathered from medical authoritative sources with regard to the awful ravages of these two crying evils, gave the audience serious 'truths to consider for many a Ion? day. This versatile progressive thinker might be termed a Medical Evan - gellst (not the goody-goody sort).

It is impossible to adequately express "one's indignation at the outrage perpetrated at Los Angeles last; week which resulted in- wrecking the "Times" publishing plant and in the loss of a score of lives, nor can we find language strong enough to express Our utter loathing of those guilty of the felonoiis deed. That some malignant persons did actually commit the crime;., seems to be demonstrated beyond a doubt, but as to who it was, and 7 what were the causes which led up to so dastardly a deed, is a matter upon which no rash conclusion should be drawn. The popular tendency is to lay it at the door of the unions of Los Angeles.. . This we submit is eminently unjust in absence of positive proof. 7 The matter is so serious that no effort or expense should be spared., to probe it to the very bottom. - 7 . It is a well-known fact that the "Times'* ami the manufacturers have been waging a bitter war against the unions, and immediately it became known that an outrage had been committed the cry ) went'forth that the unions had done it.. This charge has been taken tip by the enemies of unionism throughout the length and breadth of tlie land, and many impartial and neutral parties have been prejudiced against the unions as "a result. '.���������*.. We repeat, that until such time as the matter has been thorough-., ly probedY and it has been positively proven that the unions were officially connected with the act, judgment should be reserved. It is not sufficient to show, even, that the perpetrators were men be- < longing to a union, because no one denies1 that many individual union men are bad, but that is no criterion that all union men are bad. According to reports in the press, the war which has been waging between the Manufacturers' Association and its champion, the "Times," and union labor in Los Angeles, has .been characterized by - much bitterness and vituperation on both sides. The "Times" has designated certain labor leaders as murderers, corpse defacers, assaulters, etc; there is small excuse for the use of such epithets in the discussion of an economic question. Again, this same association has sworn to abolish unionism. This position is little .^ short of insane. Any rational man will admit that it is much easier to deal with a committee representing a large number of common interests than it is to deal with each individual member, and unionism, under proper control, is a great benefaetor. It is also a matter worthy of note that the unions are ready and ,anxious to have a publie system of arbitration inaugurated, but on the other hand the average employers' association arrogate to themselves the sole right to judge of the merits or demerits of the ease. Now, it is reasonable to assume that there is bound to arise problems-and questions between employer and employee under.our present systems of industrial development, and wha,t saner way is there to deal with those problems than b.v arbitration? We simply draw attention-to these facts because of ,the evident effort on the part of interested parties to make a great deal of capital out of the unfortunate occurrence at Los������ Angeles. A catastrophe of this kind should make all wise men think, and think hard of the Causes which may have led up to the outrage. Whoever, committed the infamous act, or whoever may have con- ' nived at it. must have beehsembittered to the point of desperation,7 and a condition of society which is productive of such feelings ia anything but harmonious and warrants the most, careful study as to: i ways in which it ean be remedied. ; - :7 FALSE CREEK (Continued) future as worthy of even passing attention. But this does not release us from the solemn obligation of preserving for posterity some of the rich natural advantages, which are theirs as much as they are ours, and we shall be remiss in our duty if we allow them to be dissipated, even though it may be to the personal advantage of some to do so. ': ���������-.���������_.. "77 -��������� liipthe next place* what is the position of the G. N. Railway t,| They do not seem to be worrying much. In fact, it is well to note they have been supremely indifferent as to the fate of the city's?! application. Why? Simply because they have an alternative course; in case the present scheme fails. It is altogether probable that they; would prefer it did fail, as it would release them from tlie existing^] agreement with the city, which, while it is entirely abortive as far 88;i!eii^Tah������e is concerned, yfet it carries a moral obligation, which' may be ignored, but at times might be troublesome, and the railway*! usually seek the course of least resistance as a matter of policy. The Great Northern Railway Company have never filed plana] in a formal manner under the Railway Act, and therefore are in the position of a private owner of foreshore, on False Creek. UpJ to the present they have been subject to expropriation by the citj tinder powers given in the False Creek Foreshore Act, and conse-1 quently found it convenient to enter into an agreement with the city! until such times as this Act should expire, vi?., October 31st. After! that date the railway company will be more or less independent ofj the eity and will then be in a position to file the usual plans showj ing lands required for terminal facilities, and will claim the right to acquire, under the Railway Act, the very land they have beei dickering withJhe city for, and further will be able to produce evidence of the justice"of theiF^VU?mands "this self-sam^ with the city, supported by an overwhelming vote of the people. Ii the face of this convincing evidence the city will have considerable difficulty in opposing their claims; in fact; it is doubtful if the com cil,as at present constituted, would offer any objection to anything the Great Northern might demand. A very strong argument which would be urged by the railwajj in support of its claims would be that it owned the foreshore an<j therefore had a right to the abutting tide flats. And in response the city's claims to the title of the tide flats, they would be able point to the undeniable fact that the eity had on no occasion eyei attempted to develop their holdings, and were only standing in thi way of legitimate enterprises. It is altogether probable that undei such ^conditions the railwav company would thus be enabled to se] cure, iree. from any troublesome verbal promises, all the land if might want. The diplomatic skill of the railway is well illustrated in its aj parent anxwty to secure the passing of the by-law; this was part the scheme; they thus obtained confirmation beforehand of thi amount of land they would require. Another very significant fac is that the railway ieft a few lots which they refused to buy at thi head of the creek, in spite of the fact that they agreed with the couq cil to extinguish all riparian rights, except some lying near the brid| which tlie city agreed to assume. This clause was so changed i\ the printed copy of the by-law as to read that the "company woulj be at liberty to defend action, etc.." and it was largely due to tin vigorous opposition of these owners that the Provincial Governmen] were induced to make such fine legal investigations, resulting in refusal of the plans. It would appear to a careful observer that railway purposely allowed these lots to remain and deliberately t\ frained from fl'ai're. with them in order to encompass the defeat the city's application. As to the possibility of the city being able to fnistrate thef schemes or to successfully retrace its steps it is difficult to sts One thing seems to be of paramount importance, and that is, city should spare no effort to secure again, through the ProvinciJ Government, the position which it has forfeited by allowing the Fa Creek Foreshore Act to lapse. We should profit by our unpleas experience of this past year and proceed forthwith to outline scheme for tbe development of False Creek in the interests of public. Such a scheme should incorporate a just and equitable arrang ment to be submitted to the railway company which is interest^ But we should also oppose, unflinchingly, any effort on the part the railway company to absorb any portion of this splendid herita which we have valued so slightly. The great difficulty we are experiencing in getting-the railwj company to keep its agreement regarding bridges over the big is sufficient to demonstrate to us that they regard their promia as something to be observed only when convenient to do so. and qu\ justifies the city in looking after its own interests, and also iV ��������� R, BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The exhibition rules require 600 boxes for a car, hence there will be a grand total of 12,600 boxes on display. One box of apples is approximately 20 Inches long. If all of these boxes of apples were placed end to end, and a little boy told that he could have the last box In the row if he would go after it, he would have to walk 47% wiles to get it. There are 36 to 225 -apples in a box according to size and the manner in which they are packed. The average would therefore be about 130 appleB to each box, or a total of 1.638,000 apples in tbe entire show. These apples will average about two and one-quarter inches in diameter, and if, tbey were placed in a single row it would be 698 miles long. If a little boy should start to walk to the end of the row, and walk seven and one-hnlf miles a day, it would require three months and three days to accomplish the feat. The owners of these apples will receive $25,000 in prizes, or nearly two dollars per box. After the show lb ' over, the apples will sell readily at danc-;two to five dollars per box, say, an average of $3.50 per box, or a total of $34,100. Therefore the exhibitors will receive approximately $70 000 for the apples exhibited at Canada's First National Apple Show.

An amalgamation of five rubber concerns involved three companies in the United States and one in Canada. The International Cotton Mills Corporation, of New York State, and capitalized at $20,000,000 is believed to have acquired or proposes to acquire two or more Canadan cotton mills. The occasional visits of prominent officials of the United States Rubber Company to Montreal has led some to believe that a gigantic international rubber trust may one day be arranged to include the leading rubber companies of Canada and the United States. Friendly. relations are also thought to exist between the largest Canadian and United States.. asbestos^cor- porations. While it may be long before such international companies are arranged, the trend of interested opinion does not seem to be antagonistic to such- consolidations.

G. T. P. MAKES PROGRESS IN THE EAST. The Transcontinental railway from Levis to Moncton will be open for traffic in the early spring of next year. The completion of this section will put into operation one of the most important links of the whole line. Arrangements are already being made in a preliminary way for car ferries across the St. .Lawrence pending the construction of the Quebec bridge. From Quebec to a point 195 miles west the line is about completed now, but from the latter point to Lake Superior junction, it will not oe done for two years. The section from Lake Superior junction to Winnipeg will be ready for regular operation this autumn. .According to a well-defined report, the Canadian Pacific Railway is to build a new line from Smith's Falls to Toronto, via Belleville and the Lake Shore, paralleling the Grand Trunk from Belleville to Toronto. Mr. Mc- Nicoll, general manager of the road, who is now in Toronto, admits that the company is looking up a route for a new line between Smith's Falls and Toronto. ' In an interview Mr. McNicoll intimates that the Canadian Pacific means shortly to spend a great deal of money upon the construction in Toronto of extensive terminal facilities. Without being specific, he seems to indicate that the company will build in the north end of the city instead of on the water front. panies here are interested in the sale of particular goods a'iflft are at the same time enj"bying. reciprocal relations with similar companies across the international boundary, will create or enlarge a market which it will re- \>ay those concerned to maintain.

C. T. V., tbe ������fter- noon meeting being for women only and the evening meeting for men only.

The method which has been followed out is to get as many signatures on the petition as possible, and when the work is. completed to for ��������� ward the petition to the municipal council at Edmonds. Realizing the difficulty in circulating petitions, they engaged the services of an expert and owing to the popularity of the scheme the petition is being very largely signed. Those who have the matter in charge say that the chances for a good hig appropriation are excellent, but, of course, the matter v..l have to go through council meeting. Iron pipes are favored by the ratepayers, and it is probable that they will be specified. ��������� * * About twenty members of Mount Pleasant Lodge, No. 1842, L. O. L., paid a fraternal visit to King Edward Lodge, Fairview, on Tuesday evening.

Macauley, 130 Tenth avenue west, when their eldest daughter, Angelina, and William I. Mills, eon of ex-Alderman R. Mills, were united in wedlock.
